If you want to explore Bangkok, stay here. We felt really comfortable and loved that after all the hustle and bustle, we could sit outside with a beer, surrounded by plants and some birdsong and plan our next adventure.
There's an excellent cafe 20 yards away and a 7Eleven over the road. It's walkable to some sights and a cheap taxi ride to others.
If we go back to Bangkok, we'll try and nook here first.
Highly recommended.
